Day 211 of 365 – Christmas Lights

Since it’s Christmas time and the lights are going up, I figured I would share one way of getting the Christmas bokeh balls in the background of your photos.
1. Zoom in to your foreground subject while getting as close as possible.
2. Make sure the Christmas lights in the background are at a father distance from your subject than your camera is. The farther away the Christmas lights are, the more of a bokeh effect you get.
